Does this product work as well with a regular AA battery as far as power is concerned? How long does a regular AA battery last on average?

Yes it does! You will be amazed hoe much power it has when putting a new battery in. I highly recommend it.
773
I suggest using Eneloop NiMH rechargeable batteries with this. They are the best out there.The rechargeable battery I got with the Peanut was low capacity (like 1500mA). So you'll get longer use from the eneloop battery (~2000mA) also.

it comes with a rechargable battery and the charger it lasts forever Love it

Ive never used double AA..... Comes with two rechargeable batteries and charger.

I would not buy the cordless version. MUCH less power than corded. I would have returned mine but I took too long to try it for the first time! =(

I have had both wired and wireless. The wired peanut is much more powerful. I have yet to use regular batteries with the wireless. This comes with the battery charger. And the battery last depending on how long and often you use it.

I use regular AA batteries, but only use my older version of the product. The new one seems to snag, thus my negative review.

This shaver works well with both regular and rechargeable batteries. The key is to make sure the cutter is oiled. If it's struggling with a fresh battery, oil the cutter! I was super frustrated until I thought, dang, I haven't oiled it in a while. Bam! Problem solved.

I have used it six times in two months on the rechargeables it came with and it is still going strong without a new charge. This was recommended to me by a hair stylist. I think you will be very happy with it.

The trimmer has as much power on a regular alkaline battery as a rechargeable. I get about 10 uses on a single regular battery in comparison to the rechargeable lasting about 6-8 times before it needs a recharge.

i've used it with both rechargable and AA batteries. the AA worked for me, but had two negatives in comparison to the rechargables: it felt heavier, and the battery life was shorter. if your adapter for the AA isnt working properly, it might be the unit. have you tried using the rechargable batteries?

I have been using AA batteries that seem to last much longer than the original rechargable ones that come with unit.

Jeffery,I use two camera batteries in mine and I have never run out of battery power. Even shooting action shots with the lense continuous focusing all day and taking 500-750 photos. I do not know if it will take AA batteries but knowing that I have two camera batteries and never had a failure, I'll just continue to go that route.

power outlet in a car or boat works...the first one i got came with a broken plug for the outlet, but i got another one..the light works well with six aa batteries and is very light weight..i like it.

You I just tried it out yesterday to answer this question. Usually I have it plugged into my USB adapter, so it doesn't matter to me on battery life. I'd estimate about 12 hours on standard AA and 8 on rechargeable - but then it's slowed down enough to where you'll be seeing a difference in the amount of air it's pushing.

Any rechargeable AA will work. The ones with the higher mAh ratings will likely hold a charge longer. I've used different brands without noticing much difference. I would just avoid the cheapest, unknown brands.

I don't know of any AA apparatus for this unit. If you are looking for a way to power your unit in extended power outage I would just get more battery packs. The standard pack is small lightweight and holds quite a bit of power. They have extended battery packs. They are a bit bulkier but pack much more power. Hope this helps...

we use rechargeable AA in there all the time and have no problem. This is our second one. They tore the first one apart. They lve that thing

I'm still on my first set of batteries I put in it (2 AAs) and I'm amazed they've lasted this long. I've been using it off-and-on both day and night. The other night I fell asleep with it on and expected the batteries to be dead in the morning. They're still going! I turn the radio off when commercials come on so I'm sure that helps, but still, I've been pleased with battery life for this radio.

Any AA batteries will work, I used regular ones and they are still working two months later

Yep, you can use AA batteries (4). Will last a few days with moderate usage. We use these on our ATV's and this feature has saved me a couple of times.

I've never tried a AA battery but I can tell you the battery this comes with is nearly twice and size as far as thickness goes and about 20% longer so not sure a AA would work. The battery this calls for is an 18650. You can find them for around $10-$15 for 2 plus a charger (since they are rechargeable). Much better value than a AA anyway. Even if your AA are rechargeable they won't hold as much power as these. Hope this helps.

This product does not come with built-in battery(s), you insert your own AA batteries. I always use freshly charged rechargeables and I know them to last at least an hour.

No, you can not use AA batteries. I don't know if you can purchase an extra battery. So far battery life has not been an issue for me.

We use AA batteries in it, but only while the regular batteries are charging. As others have stated, the AA batteries are rapidly depleted, so are really only worthwhile as backup.

It uses both a plug and batteries. I have only used it with the plug which would be your best bet. But if you used batteries it reqires 4 AA.
